OK, I had to read JustDave's post cause I wasn't sure what you were asking.
You could do JustDave's mod, and then use my template set. Or you could just apply my set as is.
One of the problems with adding graphics to the tbopen and tbclose templates is that the spacing that you use (defined by a clear gif file) is going to change for each different graphic set (unless we all agree on some sort of standard size). So in order to use someone elses graphic style you might have to change your tbopen and tbclose templates, which means that you might not be able to use mine. JustDave's mod avoids the problem by allowing you to assign different tbopen and tbclose templates per style sheet (but you are still going to be limitted to one graphic style per CSS). If you use his mod then just change the names of your tbopen and tbclose templates according to his instructions.
Hopefully we'll see some options in the theme section of the admin panel to set the values for the graphic sizes in a future version of Threads.
